Was driving along and bam - engine light comes on
Had fault code p0261 alternator d+ signal .
Cleared code as battery was okay and car was charging okay.
Two days later , and the battery warning symbol has come on and the steering dies ect , but when I get going the warning light goes out and all is normal untill you turn it off again and start it up ,
Is my alternator dead ?
Battery health fine on idle with lights on only making 11-12 v Which is too low but okay when on the move ,
Thanks
